It's interchangeableBuy a high quality, 3D capable screen, a dual processor central unit with plenty of storage and buy a surround speaker. Or just add it later.Or add a bigger screen.

It's environment–friendlyThanks to high quality materials and upgradeabilityyour LOOP setup will last long.

Karen does
not care about CPUs, RAMs. She always needed a nice looking TV set at her
living room. She has two children: Sarah is 9 years old, and Peter is 12. They
want to play games on the big screen, so Karen decided to buy a smart TVs, on
an acceptable price. She does not want to change her TV set every years, so the
Medium LOOP TV set would be the perfect choice for her and the children’s too.

Phil lives
near to Boston; he is a student at the University. He’s currently renting a
little block of flat. He was looking for a small TV set, since his living room
is a small one. But he likes gaming with his favorite Android games on the
screen. So he ended up to buy a Base LOOP TV model which is able to follow his
growth of living room. Using LOOP TV Phil is able to change the Display unit
whenever he wants.

Tom has two different game consoles, and other gadgets, like Google Chromecast. He only needs the biggest display, with plenty of HDMI in, nothing else. He would be happy to buy a pure display, with crystal clear 3D capable LED. So, he just buy one of the upcoming LOOP Display unit, and he gonna be happy and satisfied.

The LOOP configurations below are subject to change. We are planning to use the most up–to–date technologies available and also consider consumer demands.

LOOP is based on the most current Android operating system available,
and will be fully open source. We will share the full source code of the
application, which make LOOP special, so it means every developer can
help to make LOOP products even better.

LOOP will use a revolutionary new method to enjoy live and VOD content at the
same time, and screen!

1. The prototypeFirst working prototype of basic
Central Unit: by the end of Q2 2014 — we know what to do, and how to
do it

Gábor Poczkodi — Co-founder, developerHe is also know as "Gabest" he wrote the famous open source program: MPC / Media Player Classic, which has been downloaded more than 48 million times!

Gergő Nyikos — Co-founder, product designerGergő is working in the digital design field since the multimedia CD–ROM was the next–big–thing. With international experience in Hungary, Austria, the Czech Republic and remote clients in the USA and Japan, he has been the leader on a wide variety of projects for desktop computer, smart TV, mobile and print. Currently he is located in Budapest, focusing on digital product design, from concept to pixel.

Antal Ay — Co-founder, developer Antal has been working on mobile and smart TV application
development for 4 years. He has in–depth working experience on every
generations of all the major smart TV platforms. Currently he is working on
custom streaming services and interactive advertisement implementations.

Csaba Lázár — Co-founder, IT engineerWorking on non linear media consuption's vision since 2009. Csaba is a hard working, objectives oriented guy, who is working
tirelessly towards his goals, whatever new sales idea he just got into
his mind. He is undertaking almost impossible inspirational ideas (like
creating a market where noone else sees a market) and proves everyone
"it's possible". He is entrepreneurial, customer-oriented, and a real
sales machine, which is funny, considering how silent and introvert he
can be at times, still cheerfully doing the door-opening part - unlike
others.

Some known problems for the real geeks …

1. Very slow operating system and applications. Every smart tv’s manufacturer has its own operating system, it is very confusing and hard to develop applications which can run on different products.

2. There is no possibility to watch live TV signal and run rich application at the same time. (wtf? !!!)

3. The actual internet connection speed impacts the speed of the TV’s operating system and loading application!?

4. Very weak video and audio playing capabilities.

5. Loading images and applications are very slow, due to only one thread memory handling.

Please note: smart TV’s manufacturers are not intend to make fast and really Smart products. Why? Because they want to sale you a new TV set in every 3 years!

Is the CU
(Central Unit) will independently useable?Yes. You
can use it as an set top box! Just loop in your existing TV set, via HDMI, and
you are ready to go!

What will happen
if I would like to change the DU (Display Unit)?No problem.
You can change it anytime. Just buy a new bigger, nicer, higher–resolution DU, and loop it
on!

Can I
develop applications for LOOP?Yes, definitely!
LOOP will be Google Play Store compatible, and we will share the whole source
code with our community!

Can I use Netflix or similar services on LOOP products?Sure, you can use any of streaming services on LOOP which are avaiable on Google Play Store!

Why don't you offer SSD in every Central Units?We are hoping to raise enough money to implement the full upgradeability, i.e. even the Central Units are configurable to the users needs. In this case everyone will be able to buy SSD for every type of Central Unit, plus they could even use their existing SSDs. The reason why decided to exclude SSD from our Basic and Medium is to keep the price low.

Why don't you offer USB 3.0?Currently USB 2.0 is the minimum we will support. We are committed to use the best technology possible, so again if we raise enough money we make USB 3.0 available.

What about further memory cards and other components?During the campaign we are listening to your recommendations and needs and our final offerings will match those demands.
